Kavitha urges PM Modi to save 60 lakh drought-hit farmers of Telangana
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 4 (IANS) Telangana Rakshana Sena (TRS) chief K. Kavitha on Sunday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and save 60 lakh farmers of Telangana affected by severe drought and the inefficiency of the state government. She slammed the Congress government in the state for what she called its utter inefficiency and neglect in tackling the severe drought. While other states like Maharashtra and Karnataka have declared drought-hit areas, which opens up the doors for help from the Union Government, the Telangana state government has refused to do that as well. Alleging that the state administration is completely giving up on the people, she appealed to the Union Government to step in and save the lives of millions. Our CM has given up... I request the PM, kindly help us out, she said, explaining the impact of drought triggered by Super El-Nino. She alleged that the state government has abdicated all responsibility, resorting only to private rituals while farmers suffer. I also urge the Honble PM of India. This is a matter concerning the lives of 60 Lakh farmers of Telangana, Kavitha stated. Some states are experiencing heavy rainfall, some are even experiencing surplus rainfall. I request the Union Government. Kindly look at the Southern States, Telangana, AP, Karnataka, including Maharashtra. Especially Telangana. We are all dealing with severe drought. Wherever you have excess power, please give us free power. If you do not support us during this time of distress, people of Telangana and farmers of Telangana will never forgive you, she said. Kavitha also stated that since the formation of Telangana, the state has not received a single rupee from the Centre. I urge the Honble PM because our CM has given up. He is doing a Varuna Yaga himself. Let him continue his Pujas. I request the PM, kindly help us out. Telangana needs free power right now. Only 24 hours of free power can save farmers of Telangana. This is a matter of life and death. On the nationwide youth protests, recurring exam paper leaks, and demands for institutional resignations, Kavitha stressed that token exits do nothing to fix broken systems. I appreciate the youngsters who are protesting, but a resignation is not the solution, Kavitha said. They got the resignation of the Union Minister that they wanted, but does that today assure that no further paper leaks will take place? To ensure that, the system has to change. The NTA has not changed. It has not become independent. So, what is the benefit of one person resigning? Okay, good, he resigned, took responsibility, but what about the whole testing agency and the system? she asked. Turning to election integrity and the Chief Election Commissioner, she emphasised the need for deep, structural fixes. Now also, if you want the CEC to resign, even if he resigns, what is the use? The whole system has to change. Accountability has to be fixed in the system. I believe the paper ballot can give us a better solution, she added.

Irani Cup: Age-group cricket experience helped me stay calm under pressure, says Smaran
Digital Desk | Srinagar, Oct 4 (IANS) Player of the Match Ravichandran Smaran attributed his match-winning composure to hit a match-winning 135 in the Irani Cup clash against Jammu & Kashmir to his extensive experience of playing age-group domestic cricket, adding that treating every game equally helped him deliver under pressure. With his parents and childhood coach Syed Zabiulla in attendance at the Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium, left-handed batter Smaran was the standout performer for Rest of India, scoring 68 and 135 to rescue his side from precarious situations in both innings against Ranji Trophy champions Jammu and Kashmir. His second-innings century, alongside a crucial 113-run ninth-wicket partnership with Mukesh Choudhary, set J&K a target of 279, which eventually proved well beyond their reach as team Rest of India sealed a 167-run win to claim their 31st Irani Cup title. I think playing similar knocks a lot in back home in Karnataka, in the under-23s as well and some experience from there comes into when I went over here to bat. Obviously Mukesh was there with me, and he also played a very important part in that partnership. So I'm glad that we could get the win, Smaran said at the post-match presentation ceremony. Despite the magnitude of the occasion and the high-stakes match situation, Smaran revealed that he consciously avoided playing the occasion in mind. I mean, I don't think of it as a big game. I just treat every game the same and look to give my best each and every time I step out there. I'm glad that on two big occasions I could contribute to the team's success and we ended up on the winning side, he said. Asked about whether his strategy shifted as the match was in balance, Smaran noted that he maintained a positive approach throughout to keep the pressure on the opposition bowlers. I think nothing much changed. The first innings also my approach was the same. It was just to play positive cricket and put pressure back on the bowlers and the second innings also I did it the same and I'm glad that everyone could chip in with some runs and we could put a decent total on board to defend in the fourth innings, he added. When asked about a broadcast graphic that highlighted his scoring efficiency outside the off-stump, Smaran, who will captain Karnataka in their Ranji Trophy opening game against Andhra in Vijayawada on October 11, acknowledged that playing to his natural strengths was key to his boundary-scoring options. I just noticed it as I was batting. I mean, I really didn't notice it when I was batting. But I think probably outside off is my strength and anything that was loose outside off, I put it away for a boundary and I think that's the way the game goes, he concluded.

TN ministerial team to visit Kerala on Monday for Anamalayar-Nallaru project talks
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 4 (IANS) A delegation of Tamil Nadu ministers is expected to travel to Kerala on Monday to continue discussions on the Anamalayar-Nallaru project, a longstanding demand of farmers seeking improved irrigation facilities in Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Erode districts. According to reports, the delegation will comprise state Water Resources Minister Anand, Revenue Minister Sengottaiyan, Public Welfare Minister Arunraj and Tourism Minister Rajesh Kumar. The ministers are expected to meet Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and the states Irrigation Minister to discuss the proposed project and its implementation. The visit, scheduled for October 5, is intended to carry forward discussions between the two states. However, the report does not specify the meeting venue, the detailed agenda or whether any formal agreement is expected during the talks. Farmers in the three western Tamil Nadu districts have long sought implementation of the Anamalayar-Nallaru project to strengthen irrigation facilities. Their demand forms the central backdrop to the proposed ministerial visit, which will bring the issue before Keralas political leadership. The delegations discussions are expected to focus on the projects implementation. The available information does not indicate whether the ministers will present a revised proposal, seek specific clearances or discuss a timetable for further negotiations. With the Water Resources Minister forming part of the delegation, the proposed meeting will provide an opportunity for direct discussions on the irrigation initiative. The participation of three other ministers also places the visit within a broader ministerial engagement between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. For farmers awaiting progress, the immediate significance of the visit lies in the continuation of discussions on a demand that has remained pending for years. The outcome will depend on what the two sides agree to take forward after their meeting. No details have been provided on the projects estimated cost, funding arrangements, construction schedule or the envisaged irrigation coverage. The report also does not mention any decision already reached between the two governments on these aspects. The planned visit, therefore, represents another round of discussions on the proposal. Whether it produces a concrete decision, a further meeting or additional examination of the project will become clear only after the talks. The focus now turns to Mondays expected meeting with CM Satheesan and the Irrigation Minister, as Tamil Nadu seeks to advance discussions on the farmers longstanding irrigation demand.

Jharkhand Police raid hotels, bars in Ranchi over alleged irregularities; 14 detained
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 4 (IANS) Police conducted simultaneous raids at several hotels and bars in Jharkhand capital Ranchi following complaints of alleged immoral activities and rampant violation of rules by bar and hotel operators. During the late Saturday night action at a hotel near Kachahari Chowk under the Kotwali police station area, police detained eight men and six women. Police suspect that some of those detained may have links to an alleged sex racket. The hotel management, employees and the detained men and women are being questioned as part of the investigation.

Shai Hope sets multiple ODI records with record 162 in New Chandigarh
West Indies captain Shai Hope etched his name in the record books with a magnificent 162 as he registered the highest individual score by a West Indies batter in a successful ODI run chase, powering his side to a historic five-wicket win over India in the third and final ODI here on Saturday.

'I had that one last fight left in me': Capt Machchhar recalls cockpit attack
Digital Desk | Jerusalem, Oct 4 (IANS) Captain Smit Machchhar, the pilot who fought off an alleged attempt to seize control of a flydubai aircraft bound for Israel, has recounted the terrifying moments inside the cockpit when he realised that his co-pilot was attacking him. Machchhar, who sustained serious injuries during the incident, described the ordeal while speaking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who invited the pilot and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to light a celebratory flame at Israel's next Independence Day ceremony. Machchhar said the flight had begun as a normal journey and that he was looking ahead while his co-pilot prayed. According to Machchhar, he initially had no reason to suspect that anything was wrong. He said that the co-pilot had told him he wanted to pray, something he described as a common practice among local passengers and crew members, and that he therefore looked towards the front of the cockpit out of respect. While he was praying, out of respect, I was looking at the front and not at the back, and suddenly, after about four to five minutes, there was a big blow to the back of my head. Machchhar said his immediate thought after the first heavy blow was that something catastrophic had happened to the aircraft itself. My first thought was that there was catastrophic damage to the aircraft, that something is not right ... but after that the blows kept coming, one after the other and that's when I realised that it's not the aircraft, it's the other guy who is in the cockpit with me, he said. The pilot said he attempted to stop the attacker, but the initial blows had severely affected his vision and left him struggling to see clearly. I did try and stop him, but because of his initial blows, my vision was almost like nothing, and I was completely blurred out, Machchhar said. And at that point, the next feeling I had was that the aircraft was sharply going down, he said. My memory is still in bits and pieces right now, but this is what I remember out of that time. Machchhar said he managed to open the cockpit door once during the struggle, but believed that the co-pilot subsequently shut it again. I did try and manage to open the door once, but I think he shut it back closed. And at this point, I remember, I was lying down on the cockpit floor, and I felt the aircraft and the whooshing sound and people screaming, he said. It was at that moment, Machchhar said, that he realised he had one final opportunity to prevent the aircraft from going down. Despite his injuries and the attack he had already endured, he decided to make another attempt to reach the cockpit door. And as I was telling the Ambassador here, I had that one last fight left in me... Call it personal or call it for people, I did it because if I didn't do it, I was going to die, and that's when I pushed against everything... I gave everything that I had and went for the door and opened the door. And thankfully, people were waiting to pounce back ... took over control and the rest is what you know, he said. I'm amazed at your courage, at your coolness of judgment under impossible conditions, the Israeli Prime Minister said, adding that what the Captain did was remarkable and that it bordered on the miraculous. He said the pilot had saved more than the lives of those on board. You saved so many souls. I think you saved something bigger. You saved the spirit of the world to realise that a brave pilot and brave passengers can overcome this evil, however threatening, however violent. It's something that is being justly hailed around the world, Netanyahu said. You're a hero of Israel. You're a hero of India. You're a hero of the entire world, he added. Netanyahu also sent his family's wishes to the pilot's family. Please also pass the best regards from me and my wife to your wife. I know you have a family and know that you're part of the family of nations. You're part of the family of nations and a heroic part. Please get well as soon as you can, he said. Inviting the Captain again towards the end of the conversation, Netanyahu said: So we hope to see you very soon in Israel. I look forward to seeing you here again. But under the circumstances, I think this will be a memorable and historic visit. Thank you for everything you did, the Israeli Prime Minister told the pilot. The conversation with Netanyahu came a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Machchhar by telephone on Friday and praised him for his actions during the incident. PM Modi had said a day earlier that the pilot had displayed immense courage and unwavering resolve while protecting the lives of others despite sustaining serious injuries.
